Constant Craving


I think I have my first food craving with this pregnancy...Subway! I've had it two days in a row for lunch. The exact same sandwich - a six inch meatball on wheat with mayo, cheese, lettuce, black olives, onions, and jalapenos. With Doritos. YUMMY!!

Still haven't gotten real sick, but I do feel queezy every so often. I just take a few deep breaths and it usually goes away. This morning I actually drank some Coke to settle my stomach. I don't drink Coke. Ever. If I do, it's diet, and that's only every once in a while. But I didn't have any diet Coke and I didn't want coffee. The thought of it actually makes me sick. But I needed my caffeine, so Coke actually sounded good. Tea is good too (drinking that now), but it has to be unsweet. All Ros ever buys is sweetened and I think all we have right now is that lemon flavored crap. Bleh! Water has become my best friend. Sometimes there is nothing better than a nice glass of ice cold water. Ahhhh....

I signed up for benefits through Office Team last week and I should get those by the end of the week, or first of next week. Then I can finally get to the doctor. My pants are already getting too snug. It won't be long before I'll need maternity clothes. I'm actually very excited about that. I never understood women who would hold out as long as they could in their regular clothes. I love maternity clothes! They are the most comfortable clothes!! I don't have to worry about feeling fat or trying to hide my belly (which I have even not being pregnant). I had this one blue outfit when I was pregnant with Corinn that was my absolute favorite. I wish I could find one like that again.

A little good news...

Okay I haven't posted in a while. I was going to wait til I actually got to the doctor, but I figured what the heck...
I'm pregnant!!
Yep, my test came out positive. Well actually, not the first time. The weekend after I posted last, I took a test and I couldn't tell if it was positive or not. It kind of looked like a plus sign, but the verticle line was very very light. So I dismissed it as being negative.
Well, another week or so went by and Rhonda goes "you still haven't had your period?" I said "no" and she said "girl, take another test!" So I did. This time it was a bright plus sign :). Ros was in a lesson so I called him into the house to see. He was all smiles. He told me to take another test just to be sure. So I did and again it was a big bright plus sign. I'm really happy. Unfortunately I haven't gone to the doctor yet because we don't have insurance, but I'm looking into trying to get some through a program Office Team offers. If not, Ros and I will just have to get some ourselves.
My guess is I'm about 6-8 weeks along. I'm excited because this time I can do it right. With Corinn we still lived in a little apartment and now this baby will have its own room. And I want to get new furniture, not hand-me-downs. And as soon as Rhonda moves out, Ros and I are going to the Justice of the Peace to get married.
Speaking of Rhonda...I won't get into all the details because it's tiresome, but Ros says she has to be out by the end of May. She says she's moving out by the end of this month, but I'll believe it when I see it.

I got this from Marla's blog so I thought I'd try it too...
